22 - 26 August 2022, Summer School "Philosophy of Mathematics Beyond the Armchair?!", Duesseldorf, Germany

Date: 22 - 26 August 2022
Location: Duesseldorf, Germany
Target audience: MA and PhD students
Costs: Free
Deadline: Wednesday 1 June 2022

The HHU Summer School 'Philosophy of Mathematics Beyond the Armchair?!' aims at gathering young scholars with an interest into the philosophy of mathematics who want to explore new and innovative methodologies. Current trends show that philosophers of mathematics see the potential in applying various methods from other disciplines such as large corpus analyses, interview studies, or psychological experiments. We offer a platform to educate the upcoming generation in those methods. It should be noted that those methods are in principle valuable for other fields of philosophy as well.

During five days, the schedule will be split into a morning and afternoon session in which internationally highly reputed lecturers offer courses presenting their methods of expertise. The students will have the possibility to apply the methods and study the practical details. In some evening lectures, we will reflect on the limits and potential of empirical methods for the philosophy of mathematics together with prominent philosophers of mathematics. Further, a social get-together and an afternoon excursion is planned to guarantee exchange between the participants.
